YOU

Just wanted to say you're beautiful.

I don't think anyone hears that enough--and even if you do have someone who will tell it to you every day, it starts to mean less, just because it's that person. You think they feel obligated to tell you that, or maybe even that they're wrong to think so, that maybe it isn't the truth, that they're the only one who feels this way.

But you're beautiful. Everyone needs to hear this, and everyone needs to hear why. It's not just the fact that you are a human being that makes you beautiful, although that is one reason. But you are beautiful because (I'm about to stray into cheesy, Dove commercial rhetoric) you are different. It sounds ridiculous and overplayed, but it's true. YOU are exactly what someone else out there is looking for, maybe they have found you already, and maybe they haven't. This is because there is no one else out there like you. People don't say it enough because it takes courage. Think about all the people you've found beautiful. You probably told only a couple of them. Some people will always say it, but most won't.

"The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you, and you're standing in the doorway."
I've used this quote before, but how amazing is that, the idea that you don't have to do ANYTHING but be there, and you are remarkable?
